The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (abbreviated ARVO) is an American learned society dedicated to ophthalmology and other vision-related topics.

In May 1970, it was renamed to its current name to reflect its broader scope.[2] It is based in Rockville, Maryland.[3] It publishes three academic journals: Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, the Journal of Vision, and Translational Vision Science & Technology.[4]
